The central role of core promoters is to initiate productive transcription in response to enhancer’s activation cues. However, it has not been systematically assessed how individual core promoter elements affect the induction of transcriptional bursting by enhancers. Here, we provide evidence that each core promoter element differentially modulates functional parameters of transcriptional bursting in developing Drosophila embryos. Quantitative live imaging analysis revealed that the timing and the continuity of burst induction are common regulatory steps on which core promoter elements impact. We further show that the upstream TATA also affects the burst amplitude. On the other hand, Inr, MTE and DPE mainly contribute to the regulation of the burst frequency. Genome editing analysis of the pair-rule gene fushi tarazu revealed that the endogenous TATA and DPE are both essential for its correct expression and function during the establishment of body segments in early embryos. We suggest that core promoter elements serve as a key regulatory module in converting enhancer activity into transcription dynamics during animal development.}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT)}, organization = {Japan Society for the Promotion of Science 18H06040 20K15710 21K20627}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT)}, organization = {Tomizawa Jun-ichi & Keiko Fund of Molecular Biology Society of Japan for Young Scientist}, organization = {Mochida Memorial Foundation for Medical and Pharmaceutical Research}, organization = {Nakajima Foundation}, organization = {Inamori Foundation}, organization = {Takeda Science Foundation (TSF)}, organization = {Sumitomo Foundation}, organization = {Senri Life Science Foundation}, organization = {Mitsubishi Foundation}, organization = {University of Tokyo}, organization = {JST, ACT-X JPMJAX211J}, organization = {Spanish Government FPI2015/074837}, organization = {University of Granada 21H05742 20H05357 19H03154 19K22378}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, title = {Dynamic modulation of enhancer responsiveness by core promoter elements in living Drosophila embryos}, doi = {10.1093/nar/gkab1177}, author = {Yokoshi, Moe and Cambón Gandarias, Manuel}, }
